Medical Xpress / Exercise may train the brain to build endurance via SF1 neuron activity
Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability to run farther and ...
Phys.org / New perspectives on how physical instabilities drive embryonic development
Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize itself into a complex organism. It underpins the diversity in the animal kingdom, from insects to ...
Tech Xplore / New research reveals early warning signs behind streaming subscription cancellations
Even with 1.8 billion video streaming subscriptions worldwide, many services are seeing cancellation rates steadily rise, raising the question of why. An international study, published in the Journal of Retailing and Consumer ...
Phys.org / Mapping where local pollution and fishing suppress climate refugia for world's coral reefs
As ocean temperatures rise due to climate change, corals and other sensitive organisms survive where temperatures are less extreme. But a new study from researchers at Florida Tech, published this month in the journal Communications ...
Medical Xpress / Gut microbes bolster immunity in HIV patients, research reveals
The circumstances surrounding a study on a deadly virus could hardly have been more dramatic. One of its first authors was forced to flee his homeland when it became a war zone. More than 2,000 kilometers away, the laboratory ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping the role of a master regulator in early brain development
New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during the earliest stages of human brain development. The study is published in Nucleic Acids Research ...
Phys.org / mRNA fragments reveal a hidden process that protects cells from harmful mutations
Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells can ramp up the activity ...
Phys.org / Rolling out the carpet for spin qubits with new chip architecture
Researchers at QuTech in Delft, The Netherlands, have developed a new chip architecture that could make it easier to test and scale up quantum processors based on semiconductor spin qubits. The platform, called QARPET (Qubit-Array ...
Phys.org / Silver European eel discovered in Cyprus for the first time
As part of a new study, researchers from Bournemouth University (BU) have discovered European eels, Anguilla anguilla, at the stage of silvering living in the inland waters of Cyprus for the first time. The paper is published ...
Phys.org / Exploring how the Gulf Stream affects the climate system and the carbon cycle
It is well documented that the Gulf Stream plays a pivotal role in the climate system through its transfer of heat, which ultimately supplies warmth to northern latitudes in the North Atlantic. What remains less well understood ...
Phys.org / Strawberry guava prevents natural forest generation in Madagascar, project reveals
Rice University biologist Amy Dunham has spent decades studying the mountainous rainforests of Madagascar's Ranomafana National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site that was designated a national park in 1991. In a project ...
Phys.org / How plants balance woody xylem and fleshy tissues: Thermospermine targets methylated ribosomes
Scientists have identified a crucial mechanism that allows plants to shape their vascular systems, determining whether they grow soft edible storage organs or develop the rigid woody tissue characteristic of trees. Published ...
